A sOCia! Tragedy,

At the chapel OF Old Mount Auburn
Cemetery, Cambridge, Mass, the other
day, the curtain fell upon the last
scene Of one Of those social tragedies
with which the public has become only
too familiar lately. Two Baskets, upon
which sympathetic hands had placed
wreaths OF immOrtelles and choice flowers,
are ranged side by side GU trestIes in
front of the altar. A half dozen or so of
mOurners and the undertaker's assistants
constitute the funeral cortege, for halo
of impenetrable mystery envelopes the
history OF the two human forms about to
be committed to the earth. With careful
hand at the close of the solemn service,
read by lay friend, the covers OF the
caskets are Withdrawn, and reveal the
marbleiZed faces of two beautiful girls,
their forms clad in the purest white.
Lies last struggle is over, and the
"peace that passeth all understanding"
seems to have left its soft impress upon
the cold Drows, but is it peace for the
spirits that, without a lawful summons,
have hurried into the presence OF their
Makerg Two suicides, with no kInsbip
but friendship, almost hand in hand,
courted death in the bright morning OF
youth as a refuge, SO far as can be learned,
from pecuniary trouble. No whisper OF
crime or frailty follows them to the tomb.
Their characters are stainless but for the
